BJJChat Attendance System vs Gym Ledger

BJJChat Attendance System provides class scheduling, member check-in, and attendance tracking for Brazilian jiu-jitsu academies. Members can check in by QR code or optional hands-free face recognition; a tablet kiosk also supports manual member search, live attendee counts, and roster updates. Admins can create recurring or one-time classes, set capacity limits, and assign coaches. Attendance reporting includes daily, weekly, and monthly views, student streaks, multi-location management, coach-hour tracking, and a real-time occupancy dashboard. The free plan is listed at free, billed forever, with no tiers or per-member fees and unlimited coaches and students. It also includes over 20 training tools, curriculum and belt progression, AI coaching, scheduling and check-in, and a technique library with over 1000 techniques. With permission, the iOS app can write verified check-ins to Apple Health and add classes to iOS Calendar; Android can write exercise sessions to Health Connect. Billing, CRM, and SMS are on the roadmap rather than current features.

Gym Ledger manages gym memberships, payments, renewals, attendance, classes, leads, staff, and reports in one system. Member profiles, membership dates, dues, and payment history are kept together, with lead follow-up and conversion tracking also supported. Gyms can create workout plans, organize training days and exercises, and assign plans to members. Payment records cover UPI, cash, card, and bank transfers, including partial payments and outstanding balances. Pro and Max include QR and manual attendance; Max adds biometric attendance support for compatible devices. WhatsApp automation handles expiry reminders, receipts, enquiry messages, and membership updates, while using the gym's own WhatsApp number requires Max. The app runs on Android, iOS, and the web. An internet connection is required to save changes and sync devices; already-loaded data remains viewable offline, but new saves are blocked. Gym Ledger offers a free plan and a 30-day trial. Paid plans are Pro at ₹333 per month and Max at ₹499 per month, both GST-inclusive.
